"Huh?"

In the text, the plot continues to advance and unfold.

The protagonist Xu Hua once again woke up from his sleep from the house where he was officially arranged.

During this time, he had become familiar with the furnishings of this simple room,

In the current situation of blindness, this relatively small room has made him feel more secure...... He could easily touch things next to him.

Perceive your surroundings and your own presence.

Only at the same time, he was also slightly irritable.

He didn't know what he could do.

For human society in such a situation, it seems that there is not much need for an astronomer, a cosmic physicist.

When he woke up from his bed again,

First, he lay on the bed and paused, thinking about everything, and felt a little irritable in his heart.

Immediately after, it seems that subconsciously it seems that something has changed.

By the way, it seems to be a little quiet outside today.

It's rare that there is no noise of some experts and professors discussing some things,

"Hmm...... It's not entirely nothing. ”

After listening carefully, I could still vaguely hear some familiar voices talking to each other.

But it seems that these experts and professors are not communicating in the corridor outside the door today.

But in a professor's room?

Or did I wake up a little early today?

Xu Hua fumbled and touched the mobile phone that was placed in a fixed position.

Touched the time on the phone screen.

'7.14 a.m.'

The broadcast sound of the visually impaired mode of the mobile phone sounded,

But Xu Hua couldn't help but pause,

Furrowing his eyebrows, he began to sense that something was wrong.

The sound from the phone seemed to be farther away than usual, so much so that by the time it reached my ears, the sound was much weaker.

But the phone was in his hand.

Just when Xu Hua tried to adjust the volume of his mobile phone.

There was a knock on the door in the hallway outside,

The knock on the door was a little farther away, a little weaker.

Looks like someone is knocking on the door of the next room?

But immediately after,

Professor Xu Hua ...... Professor Xu Hua. The Führer informs everyone to call the meeting ......"

The man outside the house was calling himself.

Xu Hua, who already realized that something was wrong, groped his way from the bed and stood up,

Then, with a little panic and panic, he almost staggered to the door of the room,

He put his hand on the door.

Feel the vibration of the door.

It wasn't the sound far away,

It's my ears that have a problem.

Xu Hua's heart is like a bottomless abyss,

Let his heart continue to sink, but he never stepped on the bottom.

……

“…… Experts, professors. You are some of the wisest people on the planet. ”

“…… Through your efforts, we have restarted the work of restoring production and civilization in the darkness during this time......"

“…… Even if it is to be expected that our production capacity will deteriorate dramatically, our technological level will decline greatly, and our civilization may regress...... But we still gradually recovered a certain social ability from the dark groping...... Thank you. ”

The meeting still seemed to be starting in that large conference room.

The Führer's familiar voice came from the front of the conference table,

Xu Hua sat at the conference table with a pair of hearing aids in his ears.

There was a heavy exhaustion in the Führer's voice, and the experts, professors, and relevant personnel attending the meeting listened to it, but they were silent.

Because most of them already knew that the Führer urgently summoned all the experts and professors at this time,

I don't just want to thank the experts and professors for their contributions in recent years.

And after solemnly thanking the experts and professors,

The Führer also fell into a long silence.

In the conference room, there was dead silence,

The protagonist Xu Hua couldn't help but put a hand on the conference table in front of him.

finally

After a moment of silence, the Führer spoke again.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, we have encountered a change of fortune once again. Some of us are losing our vision and hearing at the same time, and the number of people who have lost their hearing is increasing. ”

The Führer spoke up,

The experts and professors in the conference room were silent.

“…… This time, hearing loss did not happen overnight, but gradually spread, and we don't know how it spread or what caused it. ”

“…… The first people who experience hearing loss should be around the seventh or eighth day after the loss of vision in all human beings. Hearing loss should be only a small percentage at first, and it is not severe. ”

"And because of the loss of vision, our ability to monitor and collect information from the entire human society has become weaker. Until now, the number of people with hearing loss has spread severely, and a large number of people have gone from hearing loss to complete hearing loss. ”

At this point, the Führer paused.

There was an unconcealable tiredness in his tone.

“…… Experts and professors are the wisest people and should know what this means. ”

“…… Losing both hearing and sight means that we lose even the ability to perceive the presence of other people. The possibility of cooperation between people has been lost. ”

"Our human civilization, our human society has lost its role."

"And the individual, having lost both senses at the same time, has difficulty surviving."

“…… When hearing loss spreads to all mankind, we may no longer be able to say that human civilization still exists. ”

The Führer's hand groped for the conference table in front of him, gently stroking,

At the bottom of my heart is grief, even despair.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, what are we going to do...... Are we going to do something? ”

To the Führer's question,

There was silence for all of you.

Xu Hua, who was wearing hearing aids, seemed to hear crying.

But after a while, the crying stopped.

Xu Hua couldn't help but help the hearing aid in his ear, afraid that he had completely lost his hearing.

It was only immediately after him that he stopped his movements again.

There's no need for that, so what if you can hear it now......

“…… What are we going to do? ”

The conference room sounded again with a professor's sad rhetorical question,

It seems to be asking yourself, and it seems to be asking others,

"What else can we do?"

“…… We can't do anything. ”

These were the desperate words of the experts at the meeting.

“…… Maybe now, there won't be any more chaos. ”

“…… Because we are about to lose even the ability to create chaos. ”

Only a few professors spoke up,

Many more participants were silent.

Perhaps they have completely despaired of this cruel reality.

Finally, after a moment of silence,

It was the head of state who raised his spirit one last time and said again to the participants.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you will continue to work on restoring some of your production capacity as much as possible in your previous fields, and that I will continue to do my job. ”

“…… Our human civilization may be on the verge of destruction, but I hope that when it does, we will retain some last of its dignity. ”

“…… Our human civilization has come from the wilderness, from slash-and-burn farming, step by step to the present. ”

“…… We have created a thriving civilization, and I don't want to collect it at the last minute of civilization. Please save her some last bit of dignity. ”

The Führer spoke,

The experts and professors attending the meeting were silent at first, and then someone agreed.

“…… Good...... I will continue to develop a clinical medical field, a number of diseases in the field of visual loss detection treatment. ”

“…… Good...... We're going to keep doing this job......"

A group of experts and professors, and the participants agreed one after another,

It's not about reviving human civilization,

Just to preserve a shred of dignity for human civilization in the end.

Maybe no one can remember these things, but the universe will.

At last

Xu Hua also spoke out loud.

“…… Perhaps we can mobilize physical instruments that are still functioning or instruments in other fields to detect changes in physical constants at the moment. ”

“…… It doesn't matter if we encounter a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. There must be a kind of scientific rule that we cannot understand that is changing at this moment, and this is affecting us. Our hearing is being lost, which means that something is happening right now. ”

Xu Hua said.

“…… Good. Are there expert professors willing to do this work? ”

“…… I'll do it. ”

The Führer agreed to Xu Hua's proposal, and someone responded.

In fact, this is meaningless,

Even if humans detect a change in data, what is the meaning of human civilization that may be about to die tomorrow?

Humanity has long run out of time.

But none of the experts mentioned it.

Because it's just to leave some dignity for civilization.

“…… In the evenings, I'll make radio speeches to explain it to everyone. ”

“…… At the same time, all those who have previously participated in the maintenance of social order and all those who maintain the basic functioning of this society are also given holidays and let them go home to reunite with their families. ”

“…… You can also get back to work and get together with your family...... At least, listen to them. ”

That was the end of the meeting.

Xu Hua, who was wearing hearing aids, got up,

Silent, groping his way back to the room where he lived,

Other experts and professors, and the participants were also getting up and leaving.

After Xu Hua walked a few steps, he suddenly bumped into something,

There's no such thing here,

oh

It turned out to be a person.

A professor who was walking in front of Xu Hua stopped abruptly and stood in place,

So much so that when Xu Hua reached out and touched him, he touched him.

I don't know what happened, Xu Hua also slowed down his feet,

Then he heard the professor's shout.

“…… I can't hear it! ”

It was after this shout that the professor was silent.

Xu Hua, who happened to have his hand touching him, could feel that the professor's whole body was trembling.

Xu Hua paused, stretched out his hand,

shook the professor's shoulder and arm hard,

Let him feel that there are people around him.

The professor seemed to let out a long breath, and the trembling gradually stopped.

“…… Thank you...... Thank you ......."

The professor thanked him, but Xu Hua heard that the professor was only in such a short period of time.

The words spoken were slightly changed and distorted.

Perhaps the hearing loss was worse than expected.

Eventually, a soldier helped bring the professor back to the house where he lived.

Xu Hua paused on the spot,

I fumbled and returned to the room where I lived.

First groped for the chairs and stools in the room,

Sitting on the stool, he followed and lay down on the bed again.

He didn't close the door again,

Supposedly, in such a situation, the door is open and there is no sense of security.

But he doesn't seem to care anymore.

Just wearing hearing aids, listening to some sounds in the hallway outside the house, in the next room,

Not long after the professors and experts in the next room lived here, the authorities brought their respective wives, children, and relatives to live with them.

And Xu Hua has always been alone.

At this moment, one of the professors in the next room on the left side of the room came back to the house and seemed to be whispering something to his family.

And in the room on the right side of the side, there was some movement again,

It seems that the staff member who brought the dinner here entered the next room.

“…… Is there any medicine? ”

In the room on the right next door was also a single professor, a professor who was almost sixty years old.

He appears to be talking to the staff who deliver the dinner.

“…… What medicine? ”

“…… I'm always a little scared of pain if I use a knife, and I want to preserve some dignity. Is there any medicine? ”

The professor's second sentence silenced the person who delivered the meal.

In the end, the person who delivered the food just answered,

"Yes."

“…… There is still some hope. Don't be in a hurry. ”

“…… I know. I'll wait until the last minute. ”

After a brief conversation, the next room fell silent again.

Xu Hua lay flat, listening to the conversation in the two rooms next door, silent.

……

Seven Days of Hell

The plot of the three chapters that was first put on the shelves in the early morning was written here.,

made a group of readers scold for a while.

Ye Linhan also saw this before,

I couldn't help but unite closely with the people in the group, and scolded this dog author out of chapter.

Now

Ji Zhuo actually changed it again today,

Let Ye Linhan prepare to take this sentence back for the time being, and read the dog author's update today first.

Maybe this is the dog author's addition to so many tips last night.

"Human dignity."

Glance at the chapter name of this chapter.

Ye Linhan held his mobile phone again and continued to look at it.

……

This chapter is about.

The plot is mainly to undertake the above.,

After it has been determined that hearing loss has begun to occur again in humans, and that the hearing loss population is spreading to the catastrophe,

After the meeting,

Until evening.

The protagonist Xu Hua is in a room with an open door,

The dinner brought by the staff was placed on the table, perhaps cold.

Xu Hua was standing by the window in this room.

The weather forecast says that today's capital should be sunny,

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window.

Xu Hua couldn't see the light, but he could feel it.

So he waited here.

But it seems that after the blindness of all mankind, the weather warning system has gradually become problematic.

There is no sun today,

Feel the evening breeze blowing with some coolness,

Probably the sunset has long been obscured by the clouds, and even the afterglow has not been swayed.

Xu Hua couldn't help but stretch out his hand to push open the window,

Go out the window and stretch out your hand,

But I still can't feel the light.

At this time, for no reason, he felt some pain in his heart, even despair.

This was something he hadn't had before when he noticed his hearing loss.

“…… Yes! ”

Xu Hua couldn't help but scream.

I couldn't help but redden my eyes anymore.

Light!

Light!

What about the sun's rays!

Humanity is coming to an end.

Humanity is coming to an end......

Gradually letting go of his hand, Xu Hua tilted his head and trembled.

And at this very moment,

The Führer's last radio address,

It also rang everywhere, and it also reached the ears of Xu Hua, who was wearing hearing aids.

“…… Dear friends and comrades. ”

"I'm Qin Anmin."

"I will make this final address to you on behalf of myself and human society."

“…… Maybe someone already knows what happened to us again, or maybe some friends don't. ”

“…… But please be able to hear these words to those who can still hear it. ”

"Our human civilization has been born from ancient times, from drinking blood from Rumao, to slash-and-burn farming, and then to the birth of science and technology. We live in most parts of the world. We have given birth to an excellent civilization, and we have left a brilliant mark on this planet. ”

“…… And today, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in the near future, our civilization will come to an end. ”

“…… But I hope, I hope that you as human beings, or please, please as human beings. ”

"To preserve the last dignity of our civilization when it is about to come to an end."

“…… Perhaps no one will remember that our civilization once existed, but the universe will remember what a brilliant civilization we once were. ”
